37:35 Dear car manufactures, why do you guys make our lives so much more difficult to clean glass? I have seen so many methods to clean hard to reach glass but its always the same issue of having to wipe at an awkward angle. Ive tried the Stoners Glass Cleaning Wand, but even that I have trouble cleaning really dirty glass on the back of Sedans and Windshields of Sport Coops. Glad you introduced the mitt method, gonna have to give this a shot myself. Sending love from SoCal! ;)

I applied Crystal Serum Light 3 years ago on my 16 Accord , the preperation work is the most important and can be very time consuming . As a weekend warrior it took me 14 hours doing it alone with just a finishing polish to clean the paint . Customers need to understand that to get the expected results it is time consuming , labor intensive and this is why it is an expensive but great option for the ultimate in paint protection.

Great video!!! CSL is a great coating! So easy. Did you top it with anything? Do you feel it last any longer with EXO on top? That Yukon is identical to ours! That red is beautiful when cleaned up! Your pad washer is very similar to what I use to do. I splurged and bought the Lake Country. I feel it actually sped up my process and gets the pads cleaner. Thank you for the video!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi thanks! Yes it is! I learned from Gtechniq that it’s unnecessary to top CSL with EXOv4 right away. It can be applied a few year down the road when CSL starts to loose it’s hydrophobic layer. I do top it with C2v3 after the 24h however.

[@patcap535]

Cool video, Phil and what an awesome outcome, too! Thanks for posting! I'm not a professional detailer, still, I find your videos enjoyable and informative. Question...can GTechiq's Crystal Serum Light be applied over the TW Flex Wax Spray Coating?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Nope, Gtechniq CSL should only be applied either on clean panel wiped paint or primers like Dr Beasleys NSP polishes. That goes for all coatings.

[@stevefulton5884]

Great video ya’ll. It’s really relaxing for me to watch these and I learn a lot. I have had Rupes LHR Bigfoot since I started back into detailing during Covid but I want a cordless to add to my arsenal. I also have not tried CSL. Do you all use EXO as a second layer?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi Thanks! Yeah we love our cordless!! We will top with EXOv4 if the customer requests it and pays extra. We found out after talking with Gtechniq that you really dont need to apply it right away, it can actually be applied a few years down the road when the top hydrophic layer of CSL wears off.

Excellent Job, Mirandas! I have a question? When applying a coating, shouldn't you also apply the coating to the door jam? I noticed you used a Lithium product, maybe "Ignite" ? When possible, shouldn't all painted surfaces be coated, door jams, trunk & hood areas, etc.?

Hi. The chrome is. We so we polished it just as we did the paint with Dr beasleys NSP 45 and used CSL on it. Here is the maintenance detail on it a year later. And even to this day and out 3 years later it’s still preforming like day one. The plastic trim still looks great but plastic trim coatings only last about 2-3 years and same goes with wheels.

Hi. I enjoy using both Cquartz and Gtechniq coatings. The CSL is rated as a 3-5 year coating. But at the 3 year mark it usually needs an application of EXOv4 to extend it. That’s how Gtechniq explained it to me. After CSL we also top it with C2V3 after the 24h initial cure.

Hi phil, I had a friend who had his vehicle ceramic coated. The thing is I noticed that bug guts and rail dust still stick to his paint? I thought coatings prevented this or am I wrong?

Hi. How often is the vehicle washed and maintained? Does it sit outside or in a garage? There are many misconceptions about coatings.

@@MirandaDetailing mannnn. You can do an entire car with one pad lol

[@MirandaDetailing]

Well do you mean washing the pad and spin drying and then using it again to polish? I have tried that and when the pad is still damp it would make a mess and splatter while polishing. That’s why we switched to simply grabbing a new pad and tossing the used one in the bucket to wash later.

As always awesome video and tutorial good friend. That spot looks and acts like some concrete that dried on paint.b well good friend

Hey man i have a question. I watched your video on removing sand and stuff from the interiour. But no matter how much i scrubbed and used the drill brush the sand and stuff wouldnt get out of the carpet It was a renault twingo soo the quality of the carpet is shit but how do you handel that?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Sand is one of the worst things to remove, in my case the sand is never 100% removed. We get it to an acceptable degree and call it. We always communicate with the customer and let them know that sand and dog hair is very difficult to remove 100% and there may be some that can't be removed. Basically lots of brushing and tamping of the carpets will bring the sand to the surface and it takes lots of vacuuming. it simply takes time.

[@rickvh0195]

@@MirandaDetailing yes thats what i had today with a customer but somehow i just feel bad that i couldnt give a better result. But would an extractor not get all the sand out? With the proper shampoos ofcourse

[@MirandaDetailing]

No an extractor doesn’t pull sand that well. Saturating the carpets with chemical or water doesn’t really help. It’s better to keep it dry, drill brush, tamp, and vacuum as much as possible. But honestly as detailers we have to learn to draw the line and stop it and when we realize it’s a loosing battle. We could be wasting time and money on those jobs unfortunately.

I tried the Vision Protect glass coating and new wipers and the wipers chatter across the windshield like crazy in the rain. Cleaned windshield with invisible glass, machine polished with glass polish and glass polishing pad, cleaned again with invisible glass, then used the Vision Protect prep towelette, then the coating and finally a new set of Bosch Icon wiper blades. Rained 3 days after and the wipers chatter across the windshield. So annoying and very disappointed in Vision Protect.

[@MirandaDetailing]

That’s very weird. I have never had an issues with it. It’s on both my vehicles. Did you change the wiper blades?

[@TheZigzone]

@@MirandaDetailing yes, new Bosch Icon wipers that I’ve used for more than a decade and they’ve never chattered. I reached out to the Vision Protect and they blamed it on the wipers even though they’re new. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thats very weird. Sorry that happened, I never have issues with any wipers chattering, ever. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheZigzone]

@@MirandaDetailing No worries Phil. Not your fault. I just wanted to share my experience.

Thanks man.

[@mindbodyandsoul604]

how much was that package?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Our ceramic coating services start at $1000 for a 1 year coating and go up from there.

[@Detailpops]

Hey brother ! How many towels today do you go through using csl & what’s your preferred ones Btw that red looks WET 💦

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. it depends on the size, but usually 2-4 towels. I alwasy use new Kirkland yellow towels for coating leveling.

[@Detailpops]

@@MirandaDetailing no wayyyyy. I have 4 new packs sitting there. I’ve been spending too much on towels that are soft for soft paints and coatings. They never micro marr?

[@MirandaDetailing]

As long as you use them gently they have never given me issues. On soft black paint any towel could mar. I always wash them first also. Sometimes a pack of towels will get pst quality control and they are not soft. I just return them and get another pack.

[@Detailpops]

@@MirandaDetailing ohhhhh I never wash them first haha I’ll try that ! Thanks brother!
